i was disappointed that obama didn't say to use yahoo! to help with his efforts. >> but, look, on that note marissa mayer will be at the white house later today as one of the ceos meeting with the president. let's be fair and honest, you guys have two completely different strategies fro what you would have done with yahoo! more of a media perspective, where she's focusing on mobile and the product 150id. do you think the street is more embracing what she wants to do with this company going forward? >> first of all, i think you have to give her time to decide what she wants to do. she's been very smart, i think, in being low key about it, getting to understand the business, understand the people there, the opportunities around the globe for that business. she hasn't really said exactly what she's going to do. clearly you have to focus on shifting consumers trends. she has great experience in product and product design, mobile is obviously going to be a tremendous catalyst in the future if yahoo! can get it right, not something yahoo! hasn'
